I’ve been obsessed with the name for years and years, but mentioned it in passing to someone and they were shocked we even considered it. It’s such a beautiful name & I haven’t cared about the meaning of anyones name before!

As long as her surname isn't Park then I think its a nice name.🚘

It's a bit americanised I suspect.

What does it mean?

It's from Maol Mhuiri meaning "servant of Mary".

Yes personally it would. I avoided Tristan for a boy for this reason as well.

If you think it’s beautiful use valerie

Yes it would. You cant use it imo

Yes. I would worry I was condemning them to a life of sadness, which I know is ridiculous.
